Our First "Wine Bar Night" at Foursight

One of my mantras about owning a business is that, as a business owner, you always have to keep trying something new. Making no decisions is as bad as making questionable ones.

Having come from the land of plenty (food and wine, that is) in Napa and Sonoma, I missed being able to enjoy evenings with bites and a glass of wine at a local winery. So, I created our "Wine Bar Nights" partially for our customers, and partially so I could sit on the patio and enjoy the sunset with good food, wine and friendly faces!

This past Friday was our first Wine Bar Night, and it was a lot of fun. Honestly, in a remote region like Anderson Valley, you never know how new events will go over, or if you will get the traffic to make it all worthwhile. I can happily report that it was a great success!

We joined up with the new Aquarelle Cafe & Wine Bar (I highly recommend them - check out their Facebook page for more info and new menus). Chef Christina made us filet mignon bites on crostini with Point Reyes blue cheese, roasted garlic, arugula and a balsamic drizzle. With the Pinots, they were perfection!

Here's a photo just to tease. We'll do two more wine bar nights this summer: on July 19 and August 2. Join us at the tasting room from noon to 7 p.m.!

About Me

About Foursight Wines

We’ve always said that every wine tells a story. The same can be said about every winery.

Foursight Wines is a small, family-owned and –operated winery in the cool, coastal region of Anderson Valley. Founded in 2007 by Bill and Nancy Charles – local winegrowers – together with daughter Kristy Charles and her husband, Joseph Webb, we produce just 800 cases of estate Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, plus Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer, each year.

Our name – Foursight Wines – signifies both the number of generations of our family to live and work on this one piece of land in Anderson Valley, and the aim of our efforts: to look forward and provide for the future generations of our family.

Each and every day you will find one of us working in the vineyard, tasting our wines, or tending to the day-to-day tasks of the vineyard and winery. We believe that good wine is made in the vineyard, and, in the best years, no intervention at all is needed to produce the highest-quality, small-lot wines.

We are a true family business, with many years of combined experience in winemaking, viticulture, wine marketing, wine public relations, and wine sales. Each of us contributes something to the whole, and in return we get to live and work in this beautiful place while preserving a part of our family heritage.
